She says she died that day. She wasn't expected to survive. She spent 111 days in hospital learning to walk and talk again, living with the impacts of a severe traumatic brain injury that changed the course of her life forever.What followed is one of the most extraordinary second acts in Australian sporting history. After re-learning to walk and talk, Alexa jumped back in the pool and found a new purpose — and within two years was representing Australia at the World Para Swimming Championships. At the 2024 Paris Paralympics she won two gold medals and a silver, breaking the world record in the 100m freestyle. She then went on to repeat that same medal tally at the 2025 World Para Swimming Championships in Singapore. She has since been awarded an OAM for her extraordinary achievements in sport. We also get into the sides of Alexa that don't always make the headlines — her deep love for house music and Fisher, her journey into DJing and music, and what swimming really means to her beyond the medals. And we talk about her brand new memoir Sink or Swim, where she tells the full truth of her two lives for the very first time.This is a conversation about resilience, identity and what it really means to rebuild yourself from zero. Alexa is joyful, honest and completely magnetic. This one will leave you fired up.In this episode we cover:The bike crash that should have killed her and how she survived111 days in hospital learning to walk and talk againLiving with a traumatic brain injury and what that looks like every dayFinding swimming and making the Australian Paralympic teamTwo gold medals and a silver at the 2024 Paris ParalympicsBreaking the world record in the 100m freestyleRepeating the medal tally at the 2025 World Para Swimming Championships in SingaporeHer love for house music and Fisher and her journey into DJingWhat swimming means to her beyond sportHer new memoir Sink or Swim and why she wanted to tell her full storyAlexa's Book - Sink or Swimhttps://www.penguin.com.au/books/sink-or-swim-9781761354601Follow AlexaInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/alexa_leary/?hl=enFollow Cooper and TGHF1% Good Club Book https://www.amazon.com.au/1-Good-Club-Transform-Minutes/dp/1394332823Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/cooperchapman/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@cooperchapman_LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cooper-chapman-08a278151/Workshop and Speaking Enquirieshttps://form.typeform.com/to/DSPSnvEHThe Good Human Factory Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/thegoodhumanfactory/The Good Human Factoryhttps://www.thegoodhumanfactory.comTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

SBS Hebrew speaks to Vic Alhadeff, OAM, who has extensive experience in media and multicultural affairs, having dedicated his career to building a more resilient, respectful and inclusive society.SBS Hebrew speaks to Vic Alhadeff, OAM, who has extensive experience in media and multicultural affairs, having dedicated his career to building a more resilient, respectful and inclusive society. To better understand the pressures, changes and experiences of ‘the tribe' at this moment in time, we introduced a new podcast corner called "Hopes & Fears in the Jewish Sphere".Through conversations with specialists in psychology, philosophy, and religion, as well as community elders and leaders, this new corner will examine the interplay of Jewish spirit, identity and belonging.We look to ask our guests questions such as:How do you perceive the current Jewish experience - locally and globally?How can we hold to an ancient sense of identity in a radically evolving world?Where can we find - and how do we exercise - hope?In this episode, we meet Vic Alhadeff, OAM, who has extensive experience in media and multicultural affairs, having dedicated his career to building a more resilient, respectful and inclusive society. Vic has held a range of leadership positions in media and community organisations, including Chair of Multicultural NSW, CEO of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, Editor of the Australian Jewish News, and Chief Sub-Editor of the anti-apartheid Cape Times in South Africa.We met with him following his testimonial at the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion. Having been at the forefront of investigative journalism and community leadership for decades, Vic shares his insights as to how we can better understand the tumultuous times we live in, and what we can strive towards as both an ancient and an immigrant collage of a society.

Portfolio poison: How ignoring modern slavery risks your returnsQuestion:Why does modern slavery persist despite Australia's Modern Slavery Act, and what practical steps can investors and fund managers take to drive real change beyond compliance?Answer:Modern slavery remains a global issue, with an estimated 50 million people affected. Australia's Modern Slavery Act has increased awareness but hasn't yet reduced incidents. According to Måns Carlsson, OAM, head of ESG at Ausbil Active Sustainable Equity, the key is moving beyond a “compliance mindset” to genuine leadership. This means harmonising laws internationally, adopting human rights due diligence (not just reporting), and using investor influence for practical engagement with companies.Investors can't guarantee portfolios are free from modern slavery risk, but they can:• Incentivise suppliers to meet responsible sourcing standards, focusing on deeper supply chain tiers (not just tier one).• Use tools like worker voice technology for real-time feedback, rather than relying solely on annual audits.• Collaborate with other investors and advocate for stronger, harmonised laws (e.g., import bans on goods made with forced labour).• Support companies to improve, rewarding progress rather than demanding perfection.The real power lies in ongoing, practical engagement and policy advocacy, not just risk assessments or box-ticking.Why it matters:Modern slavery is not just a legal or ethical issue—it's a material risk for companies and investors. Reputational damage (as seen with Boohoo in the UK) can hit share prices hard and fast. As global regulation tightens, companies that fail to act may find their goods blocked from key markets. For investors, supporting companies to improve standards helps reduce risk, avoid negative surprises, and contribute to positive change.Sources:• Måns Carlsson, head of ESG, Ausbil Active Sustainable Equity• Michelle Baltazar, executive director of media, FS Sustainability• RIAA Human Rights Working Group toolkitsTimestamps:00:00 – Why modern slavery persists; need for global collaboration02:01 – Investor relevance: reputational risk, earnings sustainability05:51 – Harmonisation, human rights due diligence, import bans08:40 – Practical steps: engagement, worker voice tools, supplier incentives13:19 – Responsible purchasing and unintended consequences16:40 – Monitoring deeper supply chain tiers18:32 – Accountability and ongoing engagement20:54 – ESG, risk management, and performanceWe record on Gadigal Land and we pay our respects to the traditional custodians of country and elders past and present.https://www.fssustainability.com.au/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

في كل عام بمناسبة عيد الملك تشارلز الثالث، تُمنح ميداليات أستراليا لأفراد قدموا الكثير للمجتمع وتركوا بصمة واضحة في مجالات الثقافة والفنون والاقتصاد وخدمة المجتمع. ولكن حين يختار المجتمع أن يكرّم أحد أبنائه، فإن التكريم لا يأتي عادةً تتويجاً لإنجاز واحد، بل لمسيرة طويلة من العطاء والإخلاص. ضيفنا اليوم واحد من تلك النماذج التي تركت بصمتها في أكثر من ميدان؛ في الرياضة، وفي ريادة الأعمال، وفي العمل الخيري. رحلة بدأت من مدينة طرابلس اللبنانية قبل أكثر من خمسة عقود، واستمرت في أستراليا حتى تُوّجت مؤخراً بالحصول على ميدالية (OAM)، تقديراً لخدماته للمجتمع اللبناني الأسترالي، ولإسهاماته الممتدة في رياضة التايكواندو. اضغطوا زر الصوت لمعرفة المزيد عن رحلة العطاء و الإنجاز ثم التتويج، بالضغط على زر الصوت في الأعلى.

Từ những bước chân của một thuyền nhân giữa sóng nước Palawan đến khoảnh khắc bước vào Dinh Toàn quyền Victoria, hành trình của ông Dũng Lê là một bài học khiêm tốn về nghị lực và sự tử tế. Không chỉ biến những móng tay nhỏ bé thành tác phẩm nghệ thuật, ông còn xây dựng nên một "đế chế" làm đẹp, nâng tầm vị thế người Việt trên bản đồ kinh tế Úc. Hãy cùng SBS Tiếng Việt khám phá câu chuyện đầy cảm hứng về người vừa được vinh danh Huân chương OAM cao quý, đúng dịp Australia Day 2026.

Welcome to our Summer Series where we're replaying some of our most popular episodes over the last 3 years so you can discover episodes you haven't heard before or re-listen to some fan favourites. In this episode, Nicola and Di chat with the entertaining and multi-talented Tottie Goldsmith. Tottie has been part of the Australian performing arts industry for 4 decades, with an incredible career that spans music, film, television, radio and theatre. In the 80s, Tottie became known as Melbourne’s IT girl, and was part of the pop group, The Chantoozies. Over the next few decades she appeared on so many iconic Australian TV shows including Young Doctors, Prisoner, Neighbours, and The Sex/Life series to name just a few. Tottie is also a proud mum, a marriage celebrant and the niece of our beloved Olivia Newton-John. In 2020 Tottie was awarded an OAM for her contribution to charity and the performing arts. We hear all about Tottie’s unconventional upbringing and some of the incredible stories from her childhood. She was born in the 60s to a legend of the Australian nightclub industry, Brian Goldsmith and the model and actress Rona Newton-John. We hear the heartbreaking story of how Tottie’s mum left her and her 2 siblings, when Tottie was only 2.5, to pursue a career overseas and the huge impact that had on Tottie’s life. Tottie opens up about the absolutely beautiful relationship that she had with her aunt Olivia, who was always looking out for her and loving her in ways that her mother wasn’t able to. Olivia was a true angel in Tottie’s life. Not only that, but we hear some fun stories from Tottie’s love life and the lessons she’s learned along the way through the relationships she’s had. Tottie is someone who really has done a lot of work on herself, and is committed to continuing to learn and grow. It’s inspiring to listen to. We had so much fun in this chat with Tottie - it was absolutely like having another girlfriend with us over the back fence. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

“This was a panel of subject matter experts of various nurses and pharmacists. We often found common ground but also discovered new ideas, different touchpoints, and key junctures along that oral anticancer medication journey. For example, the pharmacists were able to share their insights into their unique workflows within their practice setting. What resulted is a resource that truly reflects that collaborative effort between the disciplines,” ONS member Mary Anderson, BSN, RN, OCN®, senior manager of nursing membership and professional development at the Network for Collaborative Oncology Development and Advancement (NCODA) in Cazenovia, NY, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS.

To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org Highlights From This Episode LeFebvre: “There are five different elements to the care compass itself. The first is called the OAM [oral anticancer medication] workflow analysis tool. ... This [tool] allows an OAM program to really study where their processes are. Where are the gaps in the process and where might their patients be at risk? It's something that you can use within your setting to analyze your current processes and see where you can strengthen them. The second tool is something focused on patient and caregiver education. This includes a lot of information about what should be taught, how it could be taught, the best timing and so forth, according to the literature. ... The third tool is an assessment and grading tool. It's a fun tool that approaches symptom management using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grading tool. ... The fourth tool is a specialty pharmacy and patient assistance contact directory template. This is a spreadsheet that can be used by anyone navigating patient care with OAMs to keep track of their professional contacts. ... The final [tool] is the OAM adherence blueprint. This has a lot of important information on adherence, methods to assess adherence, and calculate adherence rate.” TS 7:15 LeFebvre: “Interprofessional collaboration is so essential just in day-to-day care, and OAM care is no different in that regard. Oncology nurses work in so many different settings and their role may be very different even if they have the same title. You can have OAM navigation that is completely handled in the pharmacy. I've talked with nurses who have said, ‘We don't even touch it.' But they do. Because when a patient has a combination regimen, they might have an infusion regimen that goes along with an oral therapy. Or that patient might just know that infusion room nurse so much better and they feel more comfortable [contacting them] when they have a side effect from their oral therapy. So, infusion nurses need to be aware of what the patients are on and what the potential side effects are.” TS 14:14 Anderson: “The resource for OAM education that we created is literally a blueprint of many resources out there to help nurses, pharmacists, and oncology professionals educate their patients on taking OAMs. ... [The OAM Care Compass] also helps with communication channels. It helps knowing that all the documentation is occurring and when everybody is documenting within their role and according to those key touchpoints, there's less opportunity to lose track of your patients because we know what's happening.” TS 16:33 Anderson: “I think the biggest misconception we see is that people think taking OAMs is easier than infusion therapies. And while it's true that OAMs do offer significant benefits such as the convenience and the ability for patients to take their medication at home, we are also placing a huge burden on our patients. They need to navigate that very complex health system to obtain their medication and understand their treatment plan and adhere to that precise regimen. Additionally, we are seeing more and more complex treatment regimens with combination therapies, which further increases the need for that early and ongoing education, monitoring, and support.” TS 20:38

Our regular podcast has catered principally for racing fans since its introduction seven years ago. This week we break the mould by presenting an interview with Royce Simmons OAM who reached dizzy heights in his footballing career as both player and coach. From the time of his Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2022, Royce hasn't left a stone unturned in keeping himself fit enough to pursue every avenue in raising money for dementia research. His results have been inspiring. The celebrated hooker played in 238 games for Penrith between 1980-1991, ten  for the NSW Blues and another ten in the green and gold of Australia. Every time I run into Royce at a sporting function I'm reminded of the fact that he should be a guest on our podcast. I issued an invitation at a recent Panthers charity luncheon and he graciously accepted.  Royce talks about his current state of health and the success of the “Royce's Big Walk” initiative which has raised thousands of dollars for dementia research. He talks about his recent hosting role at a Saturday afternoon Panthers initiative called “Royce's Race Day”. Members and guests got to enjoy the best in food and drinks, good fellowship and the opportunity to chat with one of Penrith's favourite sons.  Royce talks of his love of a dabble but doesn't rate himself as a successful punter. The Penrith Hall Of Famer talks of early life in the Lachlan Valley township of Canowindra where he developed a liking for the Rugby Union code. Royce talks of his hard working parents and his siblings - two sisters and one brother. He reflects on a move to nearby Gooloogong when his father George purchased the local butcher shop. He brings up the subject of Cocky Raider, a champion pacer of the late 60's and early 70's who was trained in the town by Jack McWilliam. Royce was just ten or eleven years of age but hasn't forgotten the impact Cocky Raider had on the 500 residents of Gooloogong.  Royce looks back on his subsequent move to the big smoke and trial games for St George and South Sydney.  He hasn't forgotten an unexpected approach from the Penrith Club generated by a recommendation from Parramatta star Barry Rushworth. To make it all come together Royce had to play two trial games in twenty four hours. Many have forgotten that Simmons played lock forward in his first year with Penrith.  The former champion hooker talks of the radical changes in the scrum feed. He looks back on his unforgettable debut for the NSW Blues in 1984.  Royce says he lost the job to Benny Elias in 1985, but returned the following year to get “Man Of The Match” in Game 1. His form in the 1986 State Of Origin series earned him a spot in the Kangaroo squad to play three tests against NZ. He was the first Penrith product to play for Australia. Later in 1986 Royce toured with the Kangaroo side in a six test series against Papua New Guinea, Great Britain and France. He didn't get a break that year. Royce talks about his seven years as captain of the Penrith side, a role he took very seriously. He looks back on Penrith's clash with a very strong Canberra side in the Winfield Cup Grand Final of 1990.  Perhaps Royce Simmons is best remembered for his two try contribution to Penrith's first ever premiership win in 1991. It was his final appearance as a player, and one he'll never forget. Royce takes us through the circumstances under which his “double” eventuated. The OAM inductee takes us through his coaching days which began with the St Mary's first grade side but soon escalated to loftier heights. On returning to Australia Royce was invited to take over the role of Panthers coach from the departing Phil Gould. Royce looks back on seven happy years as assistant coach of the Wests Tigers under the leadership of Tim Sheens. The former Penrith legend was gobsmacked when an offer came for him to coach the famous St Helen's Club in England. It didn't work out quite as well as Royce had hoped. He pays tribute to his wonderful family - wife Liane, children Kirk, Britt, Carly and Demi and special mention of seven grandchildren. Royce acknowledges the administrative talents of Brian Fletcher who recently announced impending retirement from his role as Panthers Group CEO.  I've never forgotten the Network Ten coverage of the 1991 Winfield Cup Grand Final. It was Penrith's first premiership, and an unforgettable swansong for one of the club's greatest sons. Royce Simmons remembers the greatest day of his playing career on this week's podcast.
